Have you ever seen a star being born? NASA’s James Webb Telescope did wonders again, snapping a stunning image

Formation of stars in space: Our space is full of mysteries and scientists use technology to discover amazing things every day. Recently, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has also done incredible work. The telescope captured the image of the birth of a star. According to a BBC report, this star has been named HH12. It is a protostar, located about 1,300 light years from Earth. According to scientists, this image will provide new clues about how stars came into being.

According to a BBC report, this star is about 50,000 years old. Photos released by NASA do not show the brightness of the protostar, as it is hidden in a disk of gas and dust. Professor Mark McCaughrin, senior scientific adviser at the European Space Agency, said: ‘As the ball of gas between the stars contracts, it rotates. Around it is a red disc. This is due to the presence of hydrogen.

HH212 was first detected near Orion’s Belt in 1993. Scientists have been waiting for the past three decades to photograph it, so they can learn how stars form. Professor McCaughrean said this was the first time scientists had obtained a ‘good color image’ of a protostar, adding that it was not possible with ground-based telescopes.

Scientists said the image would also tell them about the birth of the Sun, which would also look exactly the same. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope JWST was launched two years ago and is positioned more than a million miles away at a location called “Lagrange Point 2”. This is the best version of the Hubble telescope, which captures amazing pictures of space with its advanced instruments and provides scientists with a deeper understanding of the mysteries related to space.
